GRACE

Topic: GRACE

MEMORIZE: “For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” John 1:17.

SCRIPTURE READING: “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:28-29.

EXPOSITION: 

Grace is not only dispensationally a method of divine dealing in salvation – John 1:17, but is also the method of God in the believer's life and service. As saved, he is "not under the law, but under grace". (Rom 6:14). Having by grace brought the believer into the highest conceivable position Eph 1:6. God ceaselessly works through grace, to impart to, and perfect in him, corresponding graces. (John 15:4-5; Gal 5:22-23).

Grace, therefore, stands connected:

i. With service; Rom 12:6; Rom 15:15-16; 1 Cor. 1:3-7, 10; 1 Cor. 15:10; 2 Cor. 12:9; 2 Cor. 12:10; Gal 2:9; Eph 3:7; Eph 3:8; Eph 4:7; Philp. 1:7; 2 Tim. 2:1-2; 1 Peter 4:10.

ii. With Christian growth; (2Co 1:12; Eph 4:29; Col 3:16; Col 4:6; 2Thess. 1:12; Heb 4:16; Heb 12:28-29; Heb 13:9; Jam 4:6; 1Peter 1:2; 3:7; 5:5; 5:10; 2Peter 3:18; Judges 1:4; and

iii. With giving; (2Co 4:15); (2Co 8:1); (2Co 8:6); (2Co 8:7); (2Co 8:19); (2Co 9:14).

Grace imparted. Romans 6:1-3 reads “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?” 

“You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.” 2 Peter 3:17-18.

PRAYERS POINT: LORD, help me to grow in grace in Jesus name.
